Here is my gallery URL: ***removed***, unfortunately I am keeping all the content private other than this particular album called "Dad". It has one photo which is relatively small that has posted, and another photo of 4mb (4900x3700pix) which is not displaying.

I've noticed 2 scenarios of photos not displaying:
1. It uploads, but does not display - and displays a blue stop sign icon in the top left of the photo
2. It uploads, but does not display - and displays a red "x" icon in the top left of the photo

The only example I have right now is of the blue stop sign icon, which is the following photo:

***removed***

Thank you!!
Alex

as you can see : ***removed***/i.php?/upload/2012/07/25/20120725071058-d8beedf4-me.jpg this picture is too big for your server
You should see that with your host

@mistic reminds things yeah.
What's your environment ? on the first admin page Thx

and what is your memory_limit ? The GD Lib need a lot of RAM for working, here is a shorten output from a memory test script for GD on a server with memory limit 128MB

with ImageMagick Piwigo can convert (and generate thumbs an other sizes)  files from my 5DII on a webspace with only 64MB memory-limit, without ImageMagick and GD lib only files from my old 20D/40D.

more about the problem with GD in much better english: http://alexrabe.de/2008/05/13/understand-gd-library/


solution a: more RAM
solution b.: ImageMagick

Hello guys,

My host fixed the problem by adding more RAM (I believe). Now the photos are displaying.

Thank you!!

As before, could the administrator clean out my specific environment information and URL to my gallery?

You guys are great.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could help a little further on this issue (albeit an older post).

I'm not sure where to find the server logs mentioned here, but through empirical testing, my problem looks to be the same. (e.g. 21 mp jpeg files @ 7-8 mb file size bust on the large previews).

After reading this thread and Mol's reference to Alex Rabe's tutorial on GD, I learned that my PHP.ini file already allocates about 200mb of memory_limit. Based on my calculations, this is double what I think I would like to have/need for my 21mp jpegs.

The php.ini file was found in my piwigo sub-domain folder, newly created today for a piwigo installation.

Is there something inside GD, a txt file that I can or should be tweaking?  Mind you, I am not at all trained or educated in PHP. I don't how to install or us ImageMagick to work with Piwigo.

Thanks in advance,

EC
